what price were you quoted from GCG and what does it include?

XTRGTST-S1

The factory Turbocharger on a Nissan Skyline R32/33 GTS-T is a Ball Bearing, T3 sized unit, with a ceramic turbine wheel. In upgrading this unit, GCG replace the ball bearing pack with a new one, while replacing the Turbine wheel and Compressor wheel with larger steel wheels, making the Turbocharger Hi-Flowed Compressor, and Turbine end. The upgrade Turbocharger bolts directly back on the manifold with no modifications required, using the factory oil and water lines. After the Upgrade, the Turbocharger is rated 450hp.

Turnaround: 2-3 days.

Price: $1950.00

Ive heard the better options are 2530? series turbo .. Evil Weevil runs on best to ask him but honestly so much stuffin around with a highflow it doesnt end up much cheaper. custom lines, new actuator etc so just buy a kit n bolt her up ..

that doesnt change with the kit, or so im told. its supposed to bolt straight back up like the standard one, as it should as nothing from the out side is changed.

im also contemplating getting one of these GCG turbos. whats there quality like? and power figures? ive seen them get 230rwkw quite well and thats the power i want, but are they the best turbos for that power figure regarding response and reliability?

ive asked around quite abit and so far im leaning towards this turbo, what do yous think?

^^ completly wroung.....

evil weevil run's a hks gt-rs, far better then a 2530....

also there is no modification's needed to run a highflow turbo EXCEPT in some case's depending on the style of highflow your oil supply line might need to be enlarged a lil..... atp,precision are some other's in sydney.

My bad with Evil's setup..

My turbo is Precision so in my case it was a slight pain in the ass..

However GCG sounds good.. I believe life time is about a year? Depends on treatment I think thats with some fair flogging.

It was the water lines which caused a bigger pain and the actuator

Im also looking at getting either my standard r33 turbo high flowed or replacing it. Im in melbourne however, and would love to no some good workshops who do this work. Weighing up the costs, it seems cheaper and less hassle to get the turbo highflowed and jsut bolt it back on and go, rather then payin so much more to get another turbo to fit (oil/water lines etc).

Im not sure though..

Please help guys

for 1950 and only get a year out of it??? that cant be right. if it is ill rather pay the extra 1k and get a gt-ss. my turbo's dont get the easiest of times.

Ive looking into alot of these pages and ive decieded to go with rebuild because of price. the mrs wont budge on the dollar amount and she thinks im only paying 1500 heh heh. I find it hard to believe that a stronger than standard turbo would only last a year. considering the stock has been cruising for 15yrs. besides i only intend to run about 15pound. So back to the origanal question does anyone have a site i can check out.

there is a group buy on the GCG hi-flow if you search which brings the price down to about $1750 last i checked.

a 2530 is a lower hp rated turbo.

there are a billion threads on which turbo and why but a GCG hi-flow is probably the cheapest upgrade (and getting all new rotating parts etc.) if you include all costs from removal to replacement.

When having your stock t3 turbo highflowed on a Series II skyline, how much pounds can you wind it up to? , im currently from melbourne, i would intrested in doing it to. :(

Thanks.

Thats interesting because i went to a place called PEP'S Auto Parts in Wetherill Park,noticed they sell GCG parts

I asked the salesman are they from GCG? He said yeh and claimed he was the representitive so i asked for a

price on high flowing my stadnard rb25 turbo from a r33 to suit my 32gtst.

Same parts and process as you listed above but the price i was quoted was $1100.

Can someone shed some light on that?

my guess $1950 is the headline price for a ball bearing hi-flow with you supplying a turbo or an exchange price.

my guess is $1100 is a bush bearing hi-flow price.

$1750 is the group buy ball bearing price.

i could be wrong but calling GCG is the easiest way to clear up what's what.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
